From what I understand, they both use basically 'off shelf'
components... *ClearNav's are in custom molded plastic shells and
Craggy Ultimate's are in custom anodized aluminum shells... *ClearNav
runs a hopped up version Glidenav II (GlideNav III?) where Craggy runs
SeeYou Mobile or WinPilot, neither of which are exactly slouchy.
ClearNav is soon to have a vario to go with it and is also expecting
it's logger to receive IGC approval though, which will greatly improve
it's cost effectiveness however. Not sure about Richard's plans in
this dept, but I think SeeYou is working out a Craggy specific version
for it... * Richard?

Are the ClearNav and Ultimate seen as just slightly different design
solutions for the same problem? I thought the ClearNav had some Nav/
Display features that gave pilots a competitive advantage ... i.e.
other then a larger display. If you go to a contest, will you see any
of the national level pilots using one of these. Any preference for
one over the other?
